FOX has announced 24: Live Another Day will premiere on Monday May 5th with two episodes starting at 8PM. The following week it’ll move to it’s regular time slot of Mondays at 9PM. Here’s the official press release:
The iconic pulse-pounding clock resets when 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY premieres with a special two-hour television event Monday, May 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), and makes its time period premiere the following week on Monday, May 12 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). The high-octane saga reunites the Emmy Award-winning team of executive producer Howard Gordon; star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland; co-creator Robert Cochran; executive producers Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury and Brian Grazer; and executive producer and director Jon Cassar. Set and shot in London, the suspenseful event series once again will follow the exploits of heroic agent JACK BAUER (Sutherland), as he attempts to thwart an unthinkable terrorist attack that could change the world forever. Retaining the real-time, nail-biting, fast-paced format with split screens and interweaving storylines, the highly-anticipated series also stars Mary Lynn Rajskub (“Firewall”), Kim Raver (“Revolution”) and William Devane (“The Dark Knight Rises”) reprising their original roles. Newcomers to the drama series include Yvonne Strahovski (“Dexter”), Giles Matthey (“Jobs”), Gbenga Akinnagbe (“The Wire”), Michael Wincott (“The Crow”) and Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Judy Davis (“Life with Judy Garland”).

January 13, 2014 at 11:47 amIt was said though that broadcasters were going to be different and they didn’t retain any of the rights. But Sky is the ‘home’ of ’24’ in the UK. The likes of the BBC wouldn’t want to be seen paying megabucks for a TV series at the expense of the license payers.
Maybe Channel 4, maybe ITV – but I just don’t see it.

January 13, 2014 at 5:13 pmAnd unfortunately for Keifer, all we wanna see is Jack running around killing people. A little white house, a little CTU then back to Jack! Let Jack be Jack.
Enough with rogue Jack and everyone wants him arrested. Its annoying.
Stick to gritty not cheesy.

January 13, 2014 at 6:42 pmI’ve just realized that with this release date they’ll have aired 5 episode before the end of May which probably means they’ll be up for emmy consideration just that summer!!!

January 13, 2014 at 7:00 pmWhether Kiefer is humble enough to admit it or not, the fact is that Jack Bauer is not a mere part of ’24’… he IS ’24’ and when the time comes for Jack to hang up his man-bag, the ’24’ saga as a whole should do likewise!
I’ll not end this on a negative note, so what I’ll say is that May can’t come soon enough…

January 13, 2014 at 8:38 pmFOX certainly realizes Kiefer is crucial to the franchise, that’s why he was the highest paid actor on TV for the last couple of seasons. I can’t imagine them doing anything without Kiefer/Jack.

January 15, 2014 at 4:02 pmThe problem the show has is that there aren’t enough decent other characters. If they introduced a proper selection of other human characters instead of the cookie-cutter formula they have every season (and from the looks of the casting announcements, have repeated again this year). Take a look at The Wire for an example of an ensemble of interesting characters that was able to change the focus across seasons.
